ASSUAGEMENT

Pronounced:<ah-swage-ment>

My use:
Having a foot bath is an assuagement for sore feet.

Means:Give relief.
Literary:Do you find amusment, to take your cares away, then it is an assuagement, and makes better your day ~ E. Carruthers

Memory trick:
ass . uage . ment

ass reminds of assist
uage sounds like away
assist troubles away

Listen: assuagement
